Quick Tip: Timing isn’t just about animations

Auto-dismiss alerts, session timeouts, or rotating content can create accessibility barriers even when there’s no animation involved. Users with cognitive, motor, or screen reader needs may require more time to understand and respond. Provide ways to pause, extend, or manually control time-based changes.
